Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHFs)

Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs), including filoviruses (Ebola or Marburg) and arenaviruses (Lassa or Machupo), generally affect
multiple organ systems in the body. The
symptoms are often accompanied by hemorrhage (bleeding); however, the
bleeding is itself rarely life-threatening. While some types of hemorrhagic
fever viruses can cause relatively mild illnesses, many of these viruses
cause severe, life-threatening disease.
